Sydney Central YHA is in the heart of the city centre and close to all the action! Opposite Sydney’s Central Station, in the hub of the backpacker precinct, this hostel offers backpackers accommodation at its finest quality.

We’re located opposite Central Station which is also the first shuttle bus stop from the airport. We’re within walking distance of some of Sydney's main attractions; a few minutes from Chinatown, a 15-minute stroll from Darling Harbour and Sydney Aquarium, 20 minutes from Sydney Sky Tower and a 30-minute walk from the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay. Talk about convenience!

Was only there for one night, so i can't really say much but i did like what i saw! Super spacious rooms with comfy beds! :)
Facilities were clean as well! What more could you ask for in a hostel? the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights!

The free wifi was very good and the location next to the central station is helpful too, it's not directly in the city centre, but if you stay in Sydney for a bit longer than two days it definitely worth it because you can easily catch trains and buses to any other direction

Staff were very helpful and polite and handled any problem with ease. When we arrived we had an issue with an online booking which the receptionist resolved, making sure my partner and I got a room together. We then were given a dorm with a balcony which is a bonus. Rooms were spotless and very spacious. The kitchen had every pot pan and utensil needed to cook any desired meal. The dining area is bright and very well set out making it easy to relax and enjoy your food, or communicate. A huge bonus was FREE wifi, was very happy with this. Floor one also has a games room and computers to use. If you go up to the 9th floor there is a rooftop with BBQ, perfect for sunset beers and there is a sauna and swimming pool. First hostel I've seen with such facilities. After a few horrible places we have stayed this was a breath of fresh air. Would definitely recommend staying here and will be returning in the near future.

Central location next to the train station and bus stops and close to lively Chinatown and George street, about 30 min walk to the harbour and Opera house. Clean, big dorm room. Nice common areas to hang out and meet other travelers. Organized city tour was very good and staff were friendly. I didn't go to see the rooftop terrace.

Great hostel, very friendly staff, clean rooms, comfy beds and lockers. 6 bed dorms are better than the 4 bed dorms as you don't have your own bedside light and power plug in the 4 bed dorm.

Base Backpackers Sydney is the most centrally located Sydney backpacker accommodation according to the Lonely Planet. We are a two minute walk from the famous Darling Harbour, home to Sydney's best cafes & bars, China Town and the Sydney Entertainment Centre are just around the corner. Transport to Kings Cross, Bondi Beach, the SCG, All Phones Arena and ANZ Stadium is across the street at Town Hall Station, and the historic Rocks precinct, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House are quite near.

The location is fantastic, 5 minutes from Darling Harbour. I stayed in a double room, the bed was extremely comfortable, plus the shower facilities I was sharing with one other room were good. The free shampoos and conditioners are also a nice touch, however I'm not sure if you get this luxury if your staying in a dorm.

The showers and toilets are really clean and always hot. kitchen could do with more resources to use. Overall though, a great stay and would definately stay again.

I've stayed in an 8 bed dorm and i have nothing to complain about. the room was really big, the lockers are big enough to fit your handluggage in there. the bathroom is clean and the showers are good, especially the waterpressure. the kitchen is clean (free herbs and spices) and the breakfast is really good. free wifi even if it doesn't work that good from time to time. the common areas are good as well, so just book it :)
